Black Meadow

I
usually have good fun making up names for my new designs. This time, I
was going to just make it a straight forward 'white rabbit bag',
but then it clicked that rabbits spend a lot of time in the meadows and
that 'black meadow' sounds like 'black widow'. I quite like black
humour, so there you go.

I
bought this printed cotton fabric at Remnant Kings in Glasgow a while
ago. I hardly ever start a new project straight after buying a fabric.
Usually, I need some time to get an idea of what I actually want to
make from it. I hate the thought that I could waste the fabric on
something I wouldn't like.

I
quilted this fabric with a thin layer of wadding to add some structure
and shape. The bag has a bright red cotton lining inside and a
hand-sewn beaded 16cm frame and 120cm chain.

This is my little place where I hope to fuse beauty and ethics into something that will inspire joy in others.
My initial motivation was just to make nice things. The idea that others might not only like them but want them too came later.
Is this something I would love and something I will enjoy making is
always my starting point. So you can be assured that each item is
created with love.
Not only the love of sewing and love of textiles but love for animals and the environment.
Unfortunately, it is not a perfect world. But, as far as I can, I make
sure that my products are vegan-friendly, free of animal ingredients and
as “green” as possible.
I hope you like the selection of my creations in my shop, but remember I also make gifts and clothing to order.
Tell me what you would like and I will give you a quote.
